We vacationed in a camper – not allowed to say went “camping”

Thanks to a good friend of the family, we were able to rent a camper for our vacation at Silver Lake! It was actually the camper that my parents owned in the 1990s, and I spent many weeks each summer touring the U.S. in with the family. It brought back a lot of memories!

For the past five years, Andy and I have gone camping in a tent. The camper was such an upgrade that Andy said we were no longer “camping!”

It was perfect for Daniel. It had two bunk beds that we were able to gate off and he slept safely. Three of the seven nights he woke up at 4 am… but other than that, he did great!

We spent the mornings at the camp site and the afternoons at the dunes. Daniel loved the sand!

While we were on vacation his first tooth broke through his gums! He didn’t complain or cry at all. It’s a sharp little thing though.

It was a great opportunity for some quality “Mommy and Daniel time”!

9 Months!

I know that it has been a long time since I have posted new pictures – we have been very busy!

Daniel is doing great! He loves to eat, is still sleeping well and his favorite thing to do is stand!

He still doesn’t crawl – just rolls all over the place. He loves to pull himself up to the standing position.

We have a pediatrician appointment in two weeks – I’ll post with the updated stats!

Steven is doing “well” at boot camp – he has written a large number of both comical and insightful letters home (he has written so much it surprises us – but a happy surprise!)

Daniel met his Uncle Josh for the first time two weeks ago! Josh is home on leave from Iraq – he has to go back next week. Please remember our troops in your prayers!

The NASS Conference was amazing! I am exhausted, but incredibly proud of what we accomplished!

Thank you for checking in to see what we are up to! God bless.
